Welcome to United States History through the Black/African American Experience: A Journey of Understanding, Discovery, and Connection

Welcome, °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ community. For the next three weeks, we're inviting you on a journey to better understand the history of the United States through Black/African American experiences. Our history, the history of the United States, is told through the stories, the innovations, the genius and necessary resilience, the determination, and the grit that reshaped our society into a more perfect union and continues to impact the world we live in today. From the laboratories to the concert halls, from the voting booths to the space program, Black/African American excellence has been one of the driving forces of American progress. And that story? It's (Y)OUR story to explore, to understand, and to carry forward.

We endeavor to make this exploration interactive, accessible, and engaging. Each week, we're releasing a new crossword puzzle or word search designed to deepen your understanding of Black history in fresh, thoughtful ways.

We invite you to learn, to think, to care, and to create connections between historical figures and modern-day movements, recognizing the transformative impact on our lives today. So, engage and have fun with the puzzles. Discover new stories and hope for the future. And always remember: history, Black/African American history is embedded in us all - and we are all responsible to it.
